This is a swan neck gouge I just made…first try, so no doubt there are some improvements that can be made, but it worked quite well on the first trial run with some dry desert willow….
Ha...Well, I've done it plenty with my little hand gouge while making spoons, but I look forward to some bigger flowers with this one....the question is, have you tried making the woodchip flower yet? Where you start carving but walk around the wood carving a sort of spiral, rather than just pringle shapes
